The perfect healthier version of a decadent chocolate treat. If you are looking to reduce refined sugar in your life, a great place to begin.

It has come around again, these holidays seem to do that with alarming regularity...Easter 2018. I have quietened down a notch, (though it doesn’t feel like it) from the madness of Christmas and weddings and house guests and it suddenly occured to me I hadn’t done any new chocolatey stuff for Easter at all! NOT GOOD. So what did I feel like? Well not much to be honest, but a version of this recipe came through my inbox from Pinch of Yum, and this is my take on it. I believe she even got it from someone else as well...and so it goes.

I hope everybunny enjoys it, and that you have a safe and hoppy Easter this year. (I know...dad jokes...sorry, not sorry!)

BENEFITS:

Cinnamon is an anti-bacterial. It also boosts brain function.
